salvation

I like to work out. Last week was exciting because I got to work out 5 times! The purpose of my workouts are: to build strength (lift weights) & cardio fitness (jogging). At this time, I’m doing better w weight training than cardio, but I do both pretty much every week. Some of the benefits I find from working out include:

more energy (necessary to keep up w small children)

stress relief

clears my thinking

burns calories

greater endurance

better self-esteem

builds strength

keeps my heart & muscles healthy

strengthens my bones to prevent oesteoporosis

So, in Philip 2:12, Paul tells us to work out our salvation w fear & trembling. Truthfully, when I lift weights & if I do a really good job in a workout, I experience both fear & trembling when I’m lifting weights. I’ll talk about this more in Chapel on Tues. If you can’t come, then I’ll blog on it to explain better after Chapel 😉

In Chapel, we’ll also go into one of my fav verses in the Bible – Philip 2:13: God is at work in me to will & do of His good pleasure. Chapel is going to be GREAT & I’m REALLY EXCITED!!!

Ok, this is from the last part of Philip 2:12. Need your thoughts, wisdom, insights, whatever. I’m going to study this as well as I can, but I’d REALLY like your input – so would you kindly leave a comment & let me know what you think Paul meant when he said this? If you want to bring any application into your comment, as well, don’t fight the urge. 🙂
